The jury box is a designated area in a courtroom where jurors sit during a trial. It is typically located near the judge's bench and is often enclosed by a railing. The jury's role is to listen to the evidence presented, deliberate on the case, and ultimately reach a verdict based on the facts and the law. Jurors are selected from the community to ensure a fair trial, as part of the legal system in many countries, including the United States. The process of selecting jurors is known as voir dire, where potential jurors are questioned to determine their suitability for the case.
